Residential Customers Enjoy the Benefits of Propane

Propane is the most energy-efficient and cleanest-burning fossil fuel available today. This sets it apart from even natural gas, which is known for its efficiency. Using propane the right way can help you improve your energy efficiency overall, lower your costs, and enjoy a comfortable home through every season.

A single gallon of propane can produce the same amount energy as using 27 kilowatt-hours of electricity, or about 90,000 BTUs. That’s a lot of energy when you consider that a 100 watt light bulb, left on for 24 hours, would use 2.4 kilowatt-hours of electricity—only 0.09 gallons of propane.

Many homeowners use propane for heating their homes, running furnaces or boilers with this fuel. It is an excellent way to achieve energy-efficient heating, but homeowners can gain the greatest advantage when they use high-efficiency heating equipment. This is the best way to obtain the maximum energy efficiency when using propane as a primary heating fuel.

Residential customers can enjoy the benefits of propane over electricity and other fuels by switching to propane-fueled appliances. Anything from your refrigerator to your clothes dryer can be powered using propane. This is an excellent way to reduce your dependency on electricity, save money, and continue enjoying the same level of comfort and convenience as you always have.

Finally, improving your propane efficiency means having a good propane supplier. Your residential propane tank needs to be inspected during every refill for safety and accuracy. This will help you get the most out of the propane you use and help you measure how much you do use see you can be more energy conscious.
